A confession and a rant

Weight at Start of week (8/30/12): 181.6
  +/- at weigh in 9/13/12 -1 lbs two week total
 Current weight 9/13/12 180.6

My weight loss has slowed down. Of course it's my own fault. I have had a few too many "I don't care" moments when deciding what to eat. I'm not giving up or anything, we have been eating out more than usually lately. Which is tough thing to do and still control my points spending.

In fact, I have a confession. I tried to cheat the system last week. After eating out a few times over the week, I knew I wasn't going to be down, I wasn't going to be up either, I was going to maintain that week. Weigh-in day came (Thursday) and I decided not to go. I decided I'd go Saturday, give myself two extra days to lose weight. Didn't really work though. I weighed in last Saturday down only 0.2 lbs.

I did better this past week, well up until Tuesday when I had pizza... But at weigh in yesterday I was down 0.8 lbs. I need to refocus and get my head back into the game.

Now for a bit of a rant. Forgive me...

I'm a bit bugged (ok a lot bugged) by the fact that Jessica Simpson is now endorsing WW. I find her very annoying. I understand why weight loss companies hire celebs to endorse their company. People love celebs and if they see their favorite celeb endorsing a product they are more likely to also use the product. It's a business, I get it.

I know you can't believe everything you read about celebs, but I heard she purposely gained a bunch of weight during her pregnancy in hopes of getting an endorsement deal for a weight loss company. If that is true, I'm offended by that, weight loss is a struggle for millions of people. So for her to see it as an opportunity for financial gain, it's a slap in the face.

On some levels, I'm bothered by all celeb endorsements of weight loss products. Sure their are celebs out there with real weight issues. Take another celeb WW endorser, Jennifer Hudson, for example. My problem is they are getting paid to lose weight, can most likely afford a personal chef or catering service, and a personal trainer. Heck they probably have people to do the tracking for them. Shoot, if someone paid me millions of dollars to lose weight... You get the idea.

Hmmm maybe Jessica Simpson endorsing WW isn't such a bad thing. I'll see her picture on the wall at my meetings and I'll lose my appetite. ;)
